Hadda Brooks was born Hadda Hopgood on October 29, 1916,
in Los Angeles, she studied piano from the age of four and her earliest records
were instrumentals and she became known as the 'Queen of the Boogie'. Hadda
Brooks was the first to record for Jules Bihari's Modern
Music label, later known as just Modern (records) (it was Bihari who gave her
the name Brooks). Her sixteenth release for Bihari That's where I
Came In was first pressed on the Modern Music imprint, but latter
pressed, with the same catalogue number, on the new label as seen above. Although
she was famous for her Boogie recordings That's Where I Came In is
a slow and delicate ballad sung by Hadda Brooks with a bitter sweet and
sensitive phrasing.
